Poverty Was the Only Thing Holding Me Back

At Zhang Jie's home, the classically elegant beauty named Na'er had indeed prepared a lavish feast.

Just as Zhang Jie had said, the table was filled with every kind of delicacy from land and sea.

On the way over, Zheng Zha had exchanged some fine wine from the Main God and brought it along. It was also the first time everyone saw his childhood sweetheart and White Moonlight, Luo Li.

She was a pretty young girl, timidly following at Zheng Zha's side. She really was a loli.

"A-Gen, didn't you use Human Creation?"

Zheng Zha looked curiously at Uchiha Gen, who was sitting alone beside the dining table.

In his opinion, the Human Creation function the Main God provided for free was simply incredible.

If not for that function, he would never have found meaning in life again.

Before Uchiha Gen could speak, Zhan Lan snorted. "Zheng Zha, don't lead little Gen astray. Do you think everyone is as boring as you? When you can't get the person you like in reality, do you just rely on fantasies to satisfy yourself?"

Before Zheng Zha could say anything, Zhang Jie laughed and teased, "The Main God never specified the gender for Human Creation. Zhan Lan, you could create the perfect man you've always liked too."

Uchiha Gen had no interest in joining that conversation.

As a man with completely normal sexual orientation and bodily functions, was it that he did not want to create one?

He just had no money!

The Main God's Human Creation feature was a classic free-trial trap. It claimed that everyone received one free Human Creation opportunity upon entering the Main God Space, and that additional creations only cost five hundred reward points each, but afterward, one had to spend a Rank D Sub-plot to redeem them.

If he had more Side Missions than he could ever use, Uchiha Gen could spend five hundred points after every Horror movie and reward himself with a two-dimensional wife.

He could create Asuna, Misaka Mikoto, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Shiina Mashiro, Rem, Yukino Yukinoshita, Kaguya Shinomiya... all of them.

But unfortunately, Uchiha Gen had no money.

So, cutting off Zhan Lan before she could retort, he said, "I'm starving. Let's eat already before the food gets cold."

Zhang Jie also laughed and called out, "Fine, fine. Let's not talk about this. Eat, eat."

After that, everyone stopped talking and began eating.

The classically beautiful Na'er was indeed an excellent cook, worthy of being called a top-tier chef.

Even though Uchiha Gen had been prepared, he was still amazed after taking a bite of bear paw.

Everyone ate to their hearts' content, praising the food again and again as they toasted one another. The atmosphere was extremely lively.

The only regret was that Na'er had prepared a little too little food.

Whether it was Uchiha Gen, a Saiyan Uchiha, or Zheng Zha, the Troll, both were now big eaters. Zhan Lan, who had just completed her T-virus evolution, also urgently needed to replenish her strength so her body could finish evolving.

By the end, everyone had exchanged quite a few rare ingredients from the Main God and had Na'er cook them. They also took out plenty of ready-made food from the refrigerator in the kitchen, which could automatically generate food.

They ate from morning until afternoon before they were finally full.

In the living room, everyone drank tea to aid digestion while chatting casually.

After that meal, they had all gotten to know one another better. The unfamiliarity and distance between them had completely vanished, and their interactions became close and natural.

At that moment, Uchiha Gen began discussing the team's plans. "Do you all remember what I said before about returning to the Horror movie world for Score Grinding?"

Zheng Zha and the others all nodded.

Though they still did not understand how Uchiha Gen intended to do it, Zheng Zha could roughly guess.

A bitter expression appeared on his face as he timidly suggested, "A-Gen, we just got out of a dangerous Horror movie world. Do we really need to head back into danger right away? If you walk by the river often enough, you'll eventually get your shoes wet. Why not spend the next few days preparing properly in the Main God Space?"

He truly wanted to survive in the Main God Space.

Precisely because of that, he did not want to seek out danger. He did not want to die in a Horror movie world and drag Luo Li down with him.

Zhan Lan said nothing beside him, but she also looked somewhat nervous.

She wanted to refuse the proposal to risk entering the Horror movie world, but she also felt it would not be good to directly reject Uchiha Gen, the team's biggest pillar.

Uchiha Gen was not angry when he saw this.

After all, just one day ago, the two of them had been ordinary civilians living in a peaceful world. Expecting them to immediately become soldiers would be asking too much.

Even Genin fresh out of the Ninja Academy did not complete that shift in identity so quickly.

Everything required a process.

Uchiha Gen calmly explained his plan. "When we were in the Resident Evil World, Brother Jie explained that we could spend reward points to Exchange our way back into Horror movie worlds. After watching the Resident Evil series, I had an idea."

"Since we could trigger a hidden mission that the Main God never mentioned in Resident Evil 1, then if we enter the story area of Resident Evil 2 early, could we trigger another hidden mission and earn more rewards?"

"There are nearly ten days until the next Horror movie begins. Over the next few days, I plan to teach you how to refine Chakra and give you some combat training."

"After that, we'll enter the Resident Evil World and try to trigger a hidden mission."

"There are many benefits to doing this. First, entering a Horror movie world voluntarily means the danger will be relatively controllable. Through combat, you can complete the transition from civilians to warriors."

"Second, we can improve our strength as much as possible. If the next Horror movie is extremely dangerous, we'll be able to deal with it calmly. Third, if we earn more points, we can save up fifty thousand reward points and return to the real world sooner."

"With your current mindsets, even if I give you special training over the next few days, it will still be easy for things to go wrong once we enter a Horror movie world."

As a Chunin Captain, Uchiha Gen had plenty of experience training subordinates.

After explaining the reasoning, he began laying out the cruel reality. "The Main God explained from the beginning why it brought us into this reincarnation world: to make us evolve. It can bring people from your Earth, and it can bring people from the Ninja World I came from."

"Naturally, it can bring people from other worlds as well."

"We can tell from the twenty rooms in the Main God Plaza that a Reincarnation Squad consists of twenty people. Then what about the other Reincarnators brought here by the Main God?"

"This reincarnation world definitely contains other Reincarnation Squads."

"Right now, we are only fighting the monsters in Horror movie worlds. But will the Main God arrange for us to fight other Reincarnation Squads in the future? If we don't work hard to grow stronger, perhaps all of us will be killed then."

"I'll die. Zhan Lan will die. Zheng Zha will die. Luo Li will too."

At that, Zheng Zha directly interrupted Uchiha Gen. "Stop talking. I won't let Li'er get hurt, and I won't let any of you die either. Let's start training now!"

Seeing Zheng Zha instantly fired up, a faint smile appeared on Uchiha Gen's face.
